Mark Edwin Burge

Professor of Law at Texas A&M University School of Law

[Robert Anderson @ProfRobAnderson]

It is difficult to overstate what Texas A&M law has accomplished in just ten years. If this momentum can be continued, even in part and even for a short time, this school will tear apart the longstanding hierarchical order in the legal academy. That would be a good thing.

[Cass Sunstein @CassSunstein]

Standing ovation to @TAMULawSchool for hiring the great @lsolum, the best theorist/defender of originalism (ever), and an incredible colleague, interlocutor, teacher, and human being.

[Sean Marotta @smmarotta]

I guess he must have come . . .

. . . highly recommended.

[Orin Kerr @OrinKerr]

Big lateral hire for Texas A&M Law.

Remember, unless you’re doing statutory interpretation on a pirate ship, it’s “canons” of construction. Not “cannons.”

@ProfRobAnderson I'll see your "bundle of sticks" in property and raise you a "meeting of the minds" in contracts. The sticks are at least not affirmatively incorrect.

@ProfRobAnderson What!?!

[Mark Edwin Burge @markburge]

Amazing "topping off" ceremony for our new Texas A&M - Fort Worth anchor building. A particular treat was getting to wander the 8th floor with its skyline view!

This SNL sketch has produced some fun legal commentary.

[Judge Stephen Dillard @JudgeDillard]

"And we will call the documents filed with our appellate courts: Briefs.”

"So, these documents will contain concise arguments outlining the parties’ respective positions?”

"If only it were so simple.”

[Mark Edwin Burge @markburge]

@DBRodriguez5 I aspire to this level of communicative efficiency, Dan. Well played.

[Mark Edwin Burge @markburge]

I'm re-tweeting @derektmuller's statement for the truth of the matter asserted.

[Orin Kerr @OrinKerr]

I like that degrees are awarded “with all the rights and privileges that pertain thereto.” Not just some of them, but all of them.
